I noticed that there is nothing in the photos to show its size yet, so here it is, a 17 1/2 inch giant Asian hornet disguised as a wasp. Thickest part of its body is the fat end of the stingy bit at 6 1/2 inches wide. I may modify bits of it to make it more wasp like, like a longer pointier abdomen and a pointier face but I dont know yet. I would probably be starting with the sting end so that I can overlap my skins to look like the plates of the real one. Anyone got wasp 3 views? And I don't mean the westland helicopter. I have even thought about making the end of the tail as a balanced bit that hung on a hook inside the fixed body so it could swing about a certain amount like a nodding dog type affair. I can limit its movement so it doesn't flail about or drop off. It's just an idea but I need to keep going over all the ideas to see if and how I am going to use them. The undercarriage will be hardest to do I think, it has to be spindly, strong and light. A real set would be awesome but they don't come in this size. Lol. I have a few grams extra to play with this time, jetranger landing gear was 30g, that was two lengths of knitting needle, and 2 bits of marshmallow stick, I expect the hornet landing gear to be heavier than that. If I don't want it crumpling on landing anyway. I have a pointed end off of one of the knitting needles, this will probably be the sting, and will be used for landing on, along with the two front legs. It probably only weighs a few grams, leaving the rest of the estimated 30g for making the front legs. The 2 pairs of rear legs can be lightweight as they won't be load bearing. I am getting into this project now, we have a storm happening here just now, so seems like right time to be drawing my plans up. Or some of them at least. Just realised it will be difficult to have its rear end nodding and be strong enough to land on. Ah well, less complex doing it fixed. And lighter.
